![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I recently upgraded my system, and this upgrade involved a complete reinstall of everything on a new drive. I still have my old drive (with my old Windows install and everything else) hooked up, and I haven't deleted anything off it yet. Part of my plan for this upgrade was to just move stuff off the old drive and onto the new drive. For the most part, this has worked out OK. I've come to a bit of a roadblock when it comes to Firefox, though. In retrospect, it probably would have been simpler to just export my bookmarks to a file and then import them again when I reinstalled Firefox. But I figured that I could just go back and do it manually. The problem is that I can't find my old bookmarks. I know they have to be there somewhere because nothing has been changed on the old drive. I tried looking through the old Documents and Settings folder, but no dice. I also tried searching for files named "bookmark," but came up with only the default bookmark file. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The applications data folder can be hidden because it's a system folder. In your Suho directory go into the View settings and make sure that the hide system folders isn't checked. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yes, and yes. Unless you tell windows to show the hiddens, it doesn't index them and it, thus, doesn't search them. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() sorry Suho. I should have said to make sure that "Show All Files" was selected |
